Jet Washing in Hitchin: what actually matters here
A north Hertfordshire market town built on the wool trade, with a large Saturday market in the Georgian square, a substantial conservation area and lavender fields on the chalk to the east.
The housing stock is Timber-framed and Georgian frontages around the market, Victorian terraces at Walsworth, and interwar and post-war family housing on the Bearton and Purwell sides, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a jet washing job.
Market Place and Sun Street are pedestrianised or access-only for most of the day and the Saturday market closes the square entirely, so centre jobs are booked for early morning outside market days, and the older frontages have narrow doorways and winding stairs that need a two-person carry.
Hitchin jobs are routed across the full SG4 and SG5 area, so Walsworth, Bearton, Purwell and Westmill are quoted exactly as the centre of town is, with no outer-area surcharge.
Hitchin is a mid-sized town; the streets around Hitchin Market Place and St Mary's Church are the ones where we most often check loading arrangements in advance.
What a jet washing job includes
Jet washing is exterior pressure cleaning for hard surfaces — driveways, patios, paths, steps, walls and decking. The method matters more than the machine: block paving and concrete take a rotary flat-surface cleaner at working pressure, while render, painted masonry and older slabs take a soft wash with a cleaning solution and low pressure, because a lance held too close permanently scars soft stone and blows the joints out of paving.
Before the machine starts
- Surface identified and tested on a low-visibility area to set the right pressure
- Loose growth, moss and debris swept and scraped off
- Drains, gullies and airbricks covered so run-off silt does not block them
- Doors, windows, planting and neighbouring boundaries screened
The clean
- Rotary flat-surface cleaning for an even finish without the striping a hand lance leaves
- Edges, steps, kerbs and awkward corners detailed by hand lance
- Weeds and moss taken out of joints as the surface is worked
- Soft-wash treatment on render, painted brick and anything the pressure test says is too soft for the lance
Finishing
- Silt and run-off rinsed off and swept, not left on the lawn or the pavement
- Kiln-dried sand re-brushed into block-paving joints where the joints were washed out
- Site left tidy with covers removed and drains checked clear
What changes the price on a jet washing job
- Old and soft surfaces set the pressure. Loose-jointed or poorly laid paving, soft sandstone and Victorian tile can be damaged by full pressure, so those are soft-washed and take longer.
- Water and drainage come from the property unless we agree otherwise. If there is no outside tap or the drains cannot take run-off, tell us at quote stage and we plan for it.
- Re-sanding matters. Washing block paving without re-brushing kiln-dried sand into the joints invites weeds straight back and lets the blocks move.
- Weather changes the result rather than the price — a cold, wet week means a longer drying window before any sealing could be considered.
- Pressure washing cleans; it does not restore. Where paving has permanently discoloured, spalled or been stained by oil or rust, it will come up cleaner but not new, and we say which of yours is which before we start.
Reviews from Hitchin customers
4.5 ★ from 3,131 Trustpilot reviewsAbsolutely fantastic. Arrived early. Worked hard. Friendly, kind, honest. Have great attention to detail. Even vacuumed beams! Corner to corner cleaning by a very hard working family company. I’d always book them again.
Amalia and her team were excellent. Friendly and super efficient, really took care to deep clean and make sure of a thorough job.
Radu and Jasmina were excellent, very friendly and professional. Nothing was too much effort for them and they did a fantastic job. Very impressed with the work they did. Look after them both!

Hitchin questions, answered.
How quickly can you book jet washing in Hitchin?
Same-week slots are standard in Hitchin, with next-day often available midweek. Month-end tenancy changeovers are the busiest window across Hertfordshire, so book those a week or two ahead.
Will jet washing damage my paving?
Not at the right pressure for the surface, which is why we test first. Full pressure on soft stone, loose-jointed slabs or lime mortar does cause damage, so those get a low-pressure soft wash instead — a technique change, not an upsell.
Do you re-sand block paving afterwards?
Yes, where the joints have been washed out. Kiln-dried sand is brushed back in as part of the job, because paving left with open joints loses stability and grows weeds again within weeks.
Do you seal the surface as well?
Sealing is a separate decision and needs a properly dry surface, so it is never done on the same visit as the wash. We will tell you honestly whether your surface would benefit rather than adding it by default.
